Top Wick Tanks: Dawn of the Modern Age

We all know the familiar image of the plastic tank with the little tendrils of material dangling down into the vessel hoping for a taste of theliquid it was reaching for like a poorly designed spray bottle.

This basic setup was a reasonably effective e juice delivery method—that is, as long as the tank was at least 1/3 full.

At lower levels, top wick tanks would begin to experience significant retrieval issues with the eJuice.

An empty or burnt-tasting pull and the cheap materials commonly used to make the wicks often absorbed flavors over time.

This leads to permanently housed juices and we think more than one new accidentally delicious eJuice combination.

Dual Coils and Beyond

Manufacturers and vape enthusiasts alike quickly found that two coils were better than one, with a dual coil setup offering decreased strain on the individual coils as well as more even heating.

This modified vaping process can bring out the deeper flavors in more complex e juices.

Soon the organic cotton coil revolution began in response to vapers demand to experience the most subtle aspects of their favorite blends.

Organic Cotton Coils (OCC) are preferred by connoisseurs because of the rich, clear flavors they provide during vaping.

The material quickly became a must-have upgrade in premium clearomizer models like the top-of-the-line Kanger Subtank series.

Tri, quad and even quintuple coil clearomizers have arisen in the wake of the extended bottom coil revolution.

Each one offers their own unique package of performance benefits at the expense of increased juice consumption.

There’s even clearomizers, like the Kanger Subtank and Delta II, that offer the ability to build your own coils, if you choose, for maximum customization.

The evolution of the clearomizer not only happened seemingly overnight, it is continuing to take place before our eyes today.

Only time will tellwhat new innovations will drive the still-young industry forward, but perhaps the fact that there is such a tale to tell after just a few years is the most compelling part of the story.
